Savage Ornaments In Dakota,
Helena Herald.

There are few ornamen snow in use
with any meaning among the Dakota In
dians. Eagle feathers, the number worn
showing the number of enemies killed,
the wing featb srs of the bald headed
eagle denoting male, and the black eagle
feathers denohng women, are perhaps
most prominent, If they have scalpyl
the enemy broad red streak is painted
upon the feathers. II the person killed
was of prominence or reputation, the
feather is sometimes dyed red. Small
sticks wrapped with porcupine quilts are
sometimes attached to the quill of the
feather and little pieces of white fur
glued to the ends. No one will wear an
eagle feather unless entitled to il, as they
believe it will fly away from their heads
if worn unlawfully,
The scalp lock is still worn even among
the so-called civilized Indians. They ar
range the scalp lock proper an inch
across, and then tie around this very firm
ly headband, and then the hair is braid
ed and an otter skin is tied around il
spirally, forming braid at least tive and
sometimes as much as four feet long.
This is kept oiled for the enemy. If an
Indian has the time and the person kill
ed is of importance, he will scalp off the
whole from beneath she eyebrows, includ
ing the eyes. Grizzly bear claws are worn
| as necklaces. do not believe as q mark
OF distinction, but as they are costly. l
think the wearing of them is merely a
matter of wealth and not of chieftain-
ship.
Aside from his religious position, the
/ Wioas- ta-wa- kan, or medicine man, is the
| physician among the Dakotas, thorough
! ly conversant with the medical qualities
of the different herbs. To give greater
effort to his rattles, he is accompanied
by urum and rattles, and INDUCES in much
contortion OF features and limbs. Often
he sucks with his mouth ever the seat OF
pain a novel way of cupping, but often
etiicacious. l have seen cases of long
standing cured by these men, in some in.
stances where the army surgeon has given
them up. One cure l have in mind was
of cataract of the eye. IL was cured by
inserting beneath the lids filings from
brass wire. The patients are Away
| painted red to make their hearts strong
they say. Often the medicine men will
cut an image out of paper or bark, and
placing in upon the ground, the ratien'
is held over it; then the medicine mPr
will take his gun and shoot the image
destroying the evil spirit that caused th,
| sickness.

The Ups ANA Downs of Cranberry cultsrs.
The American Naeazlne

FROM statistics gathered by the Ameri
eau Cranberry Growers Association it i.
learned that in 1883 Wisconsin produced
135,507 bushels; in 1884 24,788: in 1865
2G4, 432 bushels; and in 1886, 70,GS6 bush
els of this fruit. By these figures II vii
be seen that the yield is very irregular
This is owing, principally, TO the fac
that many of the marshes are not yet
provided with-the means of flooding, and
suffer from worms of flooding
droughts, late late spring or early autumn
frosts, and extensive fires started BY
sparks from the engines on railroads
running through the marshes. These
and various Other evils are averted on
the more improved farms. SO that while
handsome fortunes have in many cases
been made in cranberry growing, many
thousands of dollars have, on the other
hand, been sunk in the same industry
Only the wealthier owners, who have ex-
pended vast sums of money in improg.
ing and equipping their property. can
calculate with any degree of certainty on
a paying crop of fruit every year.

The widow tainted away.
Working the Suez Canal

The way in which the canal is worked
from the Suez Office is, like many other
ingenious devices, exceedingly simple.
1t is ascribed to the local head of the
administration, M. ChSrtrey who deserved
immence credit both for the invention
itself and for the way in which it is ap-
piled to the traffic. Against the wall at
one side of the room is a narrow shelf or
platform, along which runs a groove.
At intervals this trough or groove has
deep recesses, and at two places these re-
cesses are of larger size. This trough or
groove represents the canal. The recess
ses are the sidings. The larger intervals
are the Great Bitter Lake and Lake Tim
sab. When vessel has been signaled
and is about to enter the canal at, say, the
Suez end, small toy boat or model, 3 or
inches long, Is chosen TO represent her.
A group of these model ships stand
ready beside the model canal, each fur
nished with flag. About forty have the
English flag, ten or dozen the French
flag, and so on with other nationalities
As the steamer comes up and her name
is known, it is written on paper and
placed on the toy boat. The whole R1m-
be. of ships thus actually in the canal at
any moment can De seen NJ glance, ana
as the telegraphic signals give notice the
toy boats are moved along, or placed in
a siding, or shown traversing one of the
lakes at full speed. Signals are sent
from the Office e the various "gaEes,"
prescribing the siding at which each ship
must stop to let another ship meet and
pass it. The official who is on duty keeps
the models moving as he receives notice,
taking care, when perhaps two ships go
ing il opposite directions are both near
ing the same siding, to give timely warE-
aug to the pilots in charge by means of
the signal balls and flags at each station
Qnder his contro! from the Office, and to
direct which of the two is TO lie up and
which to proceed Barring accidents the
whole arrangements goes like clook-work;
the clerk can read off in a mOT ent the
name, tonnage, nationality draught and
actual situation of every steamer; he can
tell what pilot she has on board, what is
her breath of beam, what rate she is
moving at, and everything else that has
TO be known about her, and he is able
without an effort to govern all her move
ments, to prescribe the place where she is
TO pass the night, and the hour at which
she is to get under way in the morning,
although he does not see her, and probab-
ly never saw her in his life.
